Based on the hot and sunny weather outside, temperatures start rising into the late 80s last few days, and for the weekend 90s announced ! so I guess it’s safe to say that summer is officially here!
There are a few things that are 100% necessary for summer. Like a lots of sunscreen, sundresses, sunglasses, a barbecue and a “recipe for success” – That’s what we call a summer dessert.
When someone thinks of a “summer dessert,” most likely cake type of dessert does not come to their mind. Usually, sweet treats in the scorching hot summer months include ice cream, popsicles, snow cones and the occasional milkshake.But all of you will agree on one thing anything that can be kept cool like uh…..ICE CREAM, is always a winner! Right ?
So, please stop by for a minute and get that touch of summer and Pineapple. Pineapple Delight Dessert. The name says it all…..these are simply DELIGHTFUL!
Cool, refreshing, just perfect for a hot summer’s day, or if by chance there are any leftovers it’s even better the next day.
If you aren’t a big fan of pineapple for some odd reason then you can substitute an equal amount of crushed strawberries (and I am certain other fruit would work too).

This looks great! Can cool whip be used for the top layer or does it have to be whipping cream from a carton?
